[NJARC] Looking for a 5BP4 CRT

[David Sica]

While at the Early Television Museum last week I was able to test the
picture tube in my recently-acquired Andrea 1F5 prewar television. Sadly
(but as I was pretty much expecting) it is toast.

The original tube wasn't produced in great numbers so there probably aren't
too many 5AP4 CRTS tubes out there to be found. (This tube is also known by
it's RCA designation: 1802P4.)

A workable substitute is the much more common postwar 5BP4. I've seen these
show up often over the years, but of course not now when I need one. Might
anyone have a 5BP4 squirreled away in their stash that they'd be willing to
sell?

Thanks!
